Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[rural mouse]

You have such a lovely group of kiddos

I know I know I always say this, but I am just gobsmacked at the variety of colours with chickens

So am i....and how they blend and morph in the offspring

Sold 6 dozen eggs, made $25, feed paid for, for the next few weeks
Next week might makes enough to pay for some rootin tootin horse feed, the horses need to start making me some money! at least the chickens like their ‘road apples’

The horses are paying.....the chickens for the feed...

You’d think that their feet would get cold

They do. That's why they stand 1 foot so they can tuck the other up in feathers to warm. They also rest in clear patches (like under the trees or on branches) or go back in the coop to warm up. They spent a good chunk of the afternoon sunbathing. Then we got the new cords run so have power in the coop again: heat source and water won't freeze.

She was such a beauty - the quintessential hen

I am so glad you have Glynda, nothing like a nice white hen

It is wonderful to have another white hen.

Sorry, I thought she passed today. I didn't read the year, just the date.

But hugs for her fond memory.

Nothing to apologize for. Thank you for the comforting thoughts.

Ok lovely people I am doing chores and heading to bed, tired and chilled today. Hate winter.

I love those door roosting chickens.

I got really chilled today too - it isn't really that cold, but the contrast to a few days ago really got to me.
I need to find gloves and warm hats and stuff. In the meantime I am going to bed to warm up.

Hopefully some cats piled in to help.

Poor Grandma. Last year she passed out candy to trick or treaters and her owner really wanted to bring her out for trick or treating again but the other owner said no. Grandma was a lucky chicken for staying past her bedtime for nothing but children wearing costumes, talking and grabbing candy.
She had her costume ready for nothing.

The horses are paying.....the chickens for the feed...

I think they have some sort of secret meetings going on between all of them, they are colluding!

 

[BY Bob]

It would be nice if, once the Spuds start laying, they might be more accepted and hang out with them more closely

They will. Just give them time. They will come together.
